The use of expressive arts activities can contribute to promoting a balanced approach to the holistic development of the professional counselor. This experiential workshop will demonstrate how to adapt family art assessments (Landgarten, 1987) for the classroom to address and process relationship dynamics in the classroom and promote unity for a safe learning environment within the midst of diverse individuals. Participants will leave with innovative and energizing expressive art activities to enhance the classroom experience.
